Crystal Springs Golf Course in Burlingame, CA, purchased two Clivus Trailhead restrooms in 2010 and Tim Powers, superintendent, was selected as the national public and overall contest winner in the GSAA/Golf Digest 2011 Environmental Leaders in Golf Awards.
The interview with Powers in the Feb. 2012 issue of Golf Course Management magazine describes his focus on the environment and highlights the Clivus compost restrooms. “What members may like best, according to Powers, are the two Clivus Multrum composting bathrooms. ‘They sure beat Port-O-Lets, and they are much more comfortable and user friendly,’ Powers says.”

The Presidio is a former military post that was transferred to the National Park Service as part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in San Francisco, California. The Presidio Trust manages 80% of the interior land of the park and the National Park Service manages the coastal areas. The Presidio Trust has rehabilitated the park’s historic buildings, restored open spaces, provided public programs, maintained utilities and infrastructure, and continues to fund the long-term needs of the park.
A two-stall Clivus Trailhead was purchased by the Trust in 2011 to provide restroom facilities for a trail near the El Polin spring, which is part of the Tennessee Hollow watershed. The trail, located within the park, provides recreation opportunities to both residents and visitors. The Clivus system was selected because it was cost-effective compared to extending the sewer and is in line with the Trust’s sustainability goals. The Clivus system will also prevent any pollution of the watershed.
Cortlandt Station, a commuter train station on the Metro-North railroad from New York City, was recently renovated in 2009 with the addition of an extended overpass, new elevated waiting area, additional parking and access road, as well as a Clivus compost toilet system.
The sewer was prohibitively expensive so the Clivus system was installed as a cost-effective solution. The restroom will be open to commuters in February 2012.

In Alaska the weather isn’t quite as sweltering as we’ve seen here in Massachusetts and we hear the sun never sets this time of year. Maybe it’s time for a visit.
Hallo Bay, the bear viewing camp in Katmai, AK, has a webcam set up atop the building that houses the Clivus Multrum composting toilets. Have a look. Also take a look at Hallo Bay’s blog which is always chock a block with great bear photos.
Hallo Bay installed a medium sized composting tank for seasonal use at their eco-camp in 2003. It’s been providing a comfortable experience for visitors every summer since. Here in the Clivus Multrum office we wish they had more reason for maintenance visits. We’d love to stop by and check it out.
Lookaway Golf Club in Buckingham, PA recently made an addition to its course. A custom Clivus Multrum M54 Trailhead will offer golfers comfort on far flung areas of the course.
The composting toilet system and restroom building were delivered pre-fabricated and custom finished with cedar shingle and stacked stone exterior and a cedar shingle roof. The foam-flush toilet fixture offers the comfort of home and a built in solar-powered fan eliminates all odors.

This post is about two and a half weeks late. Apologies.
April 9th The Picardo P-Patch in Seattle, Washington hosted a gardener gathering to kick off the spring growing season.
According to Trent Elwing, organizer, “Tours were part of Saturday’s (4/9/11) activities including a stop at Picaloo. Gardeners got a how-to on making deposits and then the porch floor was swung up for the turd’s eye view.”
The P-Patch is a community garden where neighborhood residents keep plots. The Picaloo is a Clivus Multrum M54 Trailhead that’s available year round to gardeners.

Each week Slate.com features one poem, including the poet reading the poem aloud.
Last week Sharon Olds read her poem “Ode to a Composting Toilet.” It’s a great read. If you need a teaser:
…
Yankees shit, Red Sox shit,
in excremental harmony;
…
If you know of a composting toilet where Red Sox and Yankee shit mingle in excremental harmony please let us know.
Take a look & listen for yourself.
